I have been meaing to post an onion bhaji recipe for a while as they are a great easy treat for people with various food intolerances. Aurelia’s comment (on Farinata recipe) earlier this week reminded me.

Onion bhaji ingredients :

• 4oz Gram flour (chick pea/besan flour)
• 2 onions, finely sliced
• 1 tsp fresh coriander, chopped
• ½ tsp of turmeric
• chillis (to taste), de-seeded and finely chopped
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup of water
• Oil, for frying

Onion bhaji recipe steps :

Sieve the gram flour into a bowl and then add all the other dry ingredients – mix together thoroughly.

Add the water gradually, mixing it in a bit at a time. You want a mixture that is just gloopy enough to dribble off a spoon. Put the mixture in the fridge until ready to fry.

Deep fry batches of the onion bhaji mixture for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. I mould a tablespoon of the mixture in a ball before frying to help keep the shape.

This onion bhaji recipe is really easy to make and also really suitable for lots of food intolerances.
